Figure 1. Beet microgreens attributes on dry matter (DM) basis on different days of growth. (a) ascorbic acid content, (b) total polyphenols content as gallic acid equivalent (GAE), (c) antioxidant activity via DPPH assay as ascorbic acid equivalent antioxidant capacity (AEAC), (d) antioxidant activity via FRAP assay as AEAC. Data are expressed as the mean ± SD (block = 2, n = 2 × *3). Different lowercase alphabets indicate significant differences (p < 0.05) among samples within the category
